    About this ebook

    Two crocodiles, Victor and Al have one wish: to buy some video games and play with them during rainy afternoons.
    After counting the savings in their money-boxes, they arrive at the local shopping mall on their bikes ....only to find that they don't have enough money to buy their favourite games. In this beautifully illustrated story, the two amusing friends show us, in a simple but entertaining way, some rules of economics that we all have to use in our everyday lives. Let's follow them!

    Author

    Maria Elena Paladini

    Born in 1972, Maria Elena Paladini has had a very varied and multidisciplinary professional career. Having attended the Classical High School in Italy, she discovered a deep love for literature and poetry but her interest in scientific subjects led her to obtain a degree in Economics and Commerce. She became a researcher at the Polytechnic University of the Marche in Italy where she completed her PhD. In this academic environment she became very aware of the importance of a thorough knowledge of economic principles for everyone. Since adolescence, she has always loved writing as a pastime and after the birth of her first child, decided to unite that love with her professional experience to write stories which present the subject of economics to children.
